Hiroshima Day

70 years ago, the first nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. Just 3 days later, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.

To commemorate this, we will be showing the highly controversial film, The War Game (1965) . Banned for 20 years this film depicts the horrific scenes witnessed by the people of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.

A series of photographs believed to be taken the day after the Nagasaki bombing, which were later bought by an RAF soldier whilst deployed to the area immediately after the event. These photographs have very kindly been donated to Scotland's Secret Bunker by the daughter of Mr Ferns, the RAF soldier.
